Modern-day breeders breed Pitbulls to create the perfect family dog, making them innate companion seekers. Pitbulls become needy when their owners don\u2019t show them sufficient attention and affection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, clingy behavior doesn\u2019t mean it will affect your fantastic friendship with your pup or have enough quality time together. This post will explain why Pitbulls are clingy and what you can do to manage your pet when they become too needy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 Reasons Pitbulls Are Clingy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who has owned a Pitbull knows they are one of the most loving and affectionate dog breeds, as they are incredibly clingy and social. Even though this can be wonderfully endearing, it can sometimes be frustrating. Let\u2019s take a look at why.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Are Social Animals\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbulls are some of the most social dogs out there, as they\u2019ve been <a href=\"https:\/\/love-a-bull.org\/resources\/the-history-of-pit-bulls\/#:~:text=The%20vast%20majority%20of%20American,and%20kept%20primarily%20as%20companions.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">purpose-bred for companionship<\/a>, so <strong>they love to be around people<\/strong>. They\u2019re also very affectionate, making them great with children and other dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbulls are loyal to their families, seeing their humans as part of their \u201cpack.\u201d As such, they can be difficult to leave at home alone, earning them the nickname \u201cvelcro Pitbulls.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essential to train your Pitbull early on in life so they know how to behave when you aren\u2019t around them. With proper training, pit bulls can be reliable companions or watchdogs and<a href=\"https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/can-american-pitbulls-be-left-alone\/\"> be left alone<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pitbulls Suffer From Separation Anxiety\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pitbull-anxious.jpg\" alt=\"pitbull is anxious in a parking lot\" class=\"wp-image-2776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pitbull-anxious.jpg 900w, https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pitbull-anxious-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pitbull-anxious-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbulls can experience severe <strong>separation anxiety<\/strong> because they can get attached to their owners. Many factors can exacerbate this condition, including:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Stress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fear&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boredom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Illness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separation anxiety is a prevalent problem affecting up to <a href=\"https:\/\/carecentervets.com\/please-dont-go-separation-anxiety-dogs\/#:~:text=Separation%20anxiety%20is%20a%20common,cattle%2C%20primates%2C%20and%20humans.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">40% of dogs<\/a> of all breeds. It is essentially a state of anxiety and nervousness that manifests when the dog is separated from its owner or other people or animals that it is used to being around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any animal, some breeds are more likely to develop separation anxiety than others. Examples include purebreds like Dalmatians and Border Collies and mixed breeds like <a href=\"https:\/\/kenneltocouch.org\/2019\/07\/separation-anxiety\/#:~:text=Everything%20is%20going%20to%20work,end%20up%20at%20the%20shelter.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pitbulls<\/a>. These breeds have a history of being bred to live alongside humans, which means they are more comfortable around people than other dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pitbulls Love Their Owners\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pitbull-being-loving-and-clingy.jpg\" alt=\"clingy pitbull\" class=\"wp-image-2777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pitbull-being-loving-and-clingy.jpg 900w, https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pitbull-being-loving-and-clingy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pitbull-being-loving-and-clingy-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbulls love their owners because they are very social animals that <strong>thrive on attention and affection.<\/strong> They are also very intelligent, so it\u2019s not surprising that they can pick up on emotions and cues from their owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbulls are known for being loyal, protective, and bold, as the breed is a mix between the Old English Terrier and the Bulldog. They are excellent family dogs because they are affectionate and strive to keep their families safe due to their innate guardian qualities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pitbull Is a Sensitive Breed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbulls are sensitive dogs; they think with their hearts and feel much more than you realize. As a result, there are several reasons why they become extra needy, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Loud noises or sudden movements: <\/strong>Fireworks, noisy children, or shouting may startle a Pitbull.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Changes in your behavior:<\/strong> A new job, hobby, child, or friend all create changes that make Pitbulls insecure and want your attention.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Health changes:<\/strong> If they feel sickly or scared, they&#8217;ll come to you for comfort.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Changes in the home:<\/strong> For example, a new bed or decorations can make your Pitbull unsure of its surroundings.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pitbulls Need Sufficient Physical and Mental Stimulation\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/american-bully-pitbull-big-jaw-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"american bully big jaw\" class=\"wp-image-2760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/american-bully-pitbull-big-jaw-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/american-bully-pitbull-big-jaw-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/american-bully-pitbull-big-jaw-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pitbulltribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/american-bully-pitbull-big-jaw.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While exercise is a must for all dogs, Pitbulls are <strong>an energetic breed that needs a lot of physical activity<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Pitbull has a lot of pent-up energy, keeping them calm and relaxed in some environments will be challenging. Additionally, Pitbulls have a lot of muscle mass and need a lot of physical activity to stay in shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mental stimulation is also essential for Pitbull care because of their <a href=\"https:\/\/thesmartcanine.com\/are-pitbulls-smart\/#:~:text=The%20Pit%20Bull%2C%20namely%20the,48th%20smartest%20dog%20breeds%2C%20respectively.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">above-average intelligence<\/a>. Lack of stimulation will make them bored and needy because they have nothing to keep them entertained, causing them to exhibit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/dog\/slideshows\/6-signs-your-dog-isnt-getting-enough-exercise#:~:text=If%20your%20dog%20isn't,exercise%20he%20needs%2C%20says%20Dr.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">undesirable behavior<\/a> like frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Pet Can Get Jealous&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Pitbull will always want to be the main focus of your attention.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Pitbulls are highly affectionate, they have an increased awareness when their owners don&#8217;t see to their needs. They feel left out when they experience inconsistent affection, especially around other pets.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbulls have a strong pack mentality, viewing their owners as the &#8220;leader&#8221; of the pack. They become even more protective of their territory due to their unwavering devotion to their person. When they see other dogs on their territory or interacting with you, they can get aggressive and display needy behavior.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pitbulls Need Consistency\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbulls are social animals who <strong>thrive when they feel loved, safe, and secure<\/strong>. As a result, they become needy when their home environment changes suddenly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your Pitbull suddenly moves into a new home with new neighbors or you have a new work schedule, it will become clingy and scared. At first, your pet may be trying to communicate that it feels insecure by licking or barking at strangers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Pitbull needs time to adjust to new surroundings and people. As time passes, however, the dog may begin demanding attention from you to feel safe and secure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitbulls are sensitive dogs. They need a lot of love, attention, and consistency. You can leave a Pitbull at home alone all day after you train them, and they feel secure enough to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are gone for an extended period, leave them with someone responsible and trustworthy. Keep your Pitbull in a crate when you\u2019re not home, and make sure you have a way to keep them entertained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Pitbull exhibits extremely needy or jealous behavior, it can signify fear, stress, or illness. Take your Pitbull to a vet to rule out any health issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pitbulls are very popular in the United States, with over 18 million living in their forever homes.
